HELP - How do you set Windows Media Player to use with Tone Match?

Hey, got mt Axe-Fx II yesterday (yay!), but can't for the life of me figure out how to set Windows Media Player so that it will play a CD/sound file into the Tone Match block. I also tried using Audacity (though it doesn't seem like you can playing a CD with it unless you rip the tracks first), but it doesn't show the Axe-Fx II as an option under "playback & recording devices". I have the Axe II drivers installed on my computer and it works fine with Axe-Edit. I'm sure it's probably something simple I'm overlooking, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Any help would be very appreciated, Thanks. :)
 
1) Close Windows Media Player
2) Under Windows 7: go to Preferences -> Sound -> Select the AXE FX as default Soundcard ... if there is no AXE FX to select, it seems the Sounddriver is not installed correctly... if it is there:
3) Open WIN Media Player ... now you should get Sound from your Computer through OUTPUT1 of the AXE FX?! (Make shure that USB Audio is tracked to OUTPUT1 in the I/O AUDIO menu
4) Select in TMA Block USB as Ref. Source ....

Does this help?
 
Media Player Classic will let you select different audio interfaces from the application; requires a restart, but it doesn't mess with your entire computer's settings in the process.
